Most 3 year olds need between 3 to 4 diapers per day on average but some 3 year olds may need 4 or 6 diapers per day.

The actual amount of diapers that the 3 year old will need per day depends on how much they drink and how much they pee and how much they eat and how much they poop.

But my 3 year old used between 3 to 4 diapers per day unless he pooped and then he would go through 5 and sometimes 6 diapers per day.

A 3 year old may only need a diaper change every 3 to 4 hours so as they get older they use less diapers and it gets less expensive.

I spent at most $50.00 per month diapering my kid when he was 3 and for my 2 year old currently I spend maybe $55.00 per month on diapers.

But he doesn't use all the diapers in a month so I would say I actually spend around $45.00 per month on his diapers.

It's still not very expensive.

A 2 year old usually needs between 4 to 7 diapers per day depending on how often they wet and how often they poop.

A 2 year old will need less diapers than a 1 year old or infant who needs more diapers per day.

At 2 years old the toddler usually wets less often and may only need a diaper change every 3 hours while a 1 year old may need a diaper change every 2 hours or so.

Most 1 year old babies go through between 7 to 10 diapers per day depending on how much they pee and how much they poop.

I changed my year old babies every 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how often they wet their diaper and how often they pooped.

Sometimes my 1 year old babies would poop 2 to 3 times per day and other times they would poop once per day.

The more they pooped and peed the more diapers they needed per day.

My 1 year olds had between 4 to 5 wet diapers per day but it can vary from baby to baby.

As long as you budget for around 10 diapers per day you should be okay with enough diapers.

It's better to have more diapers than you need than not enough diapers.

As they get older the toddlers will need less diapers per day and when my oldest was 2 he only needed a new diaper every 3 hours and sometimes only 4 hours.

So usually 4 to 5 diapers per day was enough for my 2 year old when he was 2.

Even now my current 2 year old goes through between 4 to 5 diapers per day and sometimes he doesn't need a new diaper until 4 hours later.

As the kids get older they wet less often and need less diapers.

At 3 years old my oldest kid could go 4 hours without needing a diaper change and he only needed 4 and sometimes only 3 diapers in a day.
